Catch Darkrai at Toys R Us, 05/31 through 06/01

The DS Pokemon games frighten me a little. People are still playing them. There are people who don't play anything else. Diamond and Pearl ups the total for obtainable monsters to 493, so full-completion fanatics are kind of stuck with the games until their Pokedexes are full or they break out the cheat codes.

Every Pokemon generation has its annoyingly unobtainable monsters you won't get outside of cheating or a special event, and Diamond and Pearl apparently decided to torment players with four. Darkrai is one of them, previously only obtainable by Japanese trades or glitches. If you want the chance to paste people in online matches with a totally legal North American version of Darkrai, then hit your local Toys R Us on the weekend of May 31, between noon and 4 PM for your chance to catch the elusive little bastard. If he's like the Japanese event version, he'll show up with a Cherish Ball, Enigma Berry, and two moves called Roar of Time and Spacial Rend he can't ordinarily learn. I honestly don't know what that means, but it sounds good!
